Full-Time
Firmware Engineer
Basingstoke
£70,000
YT Technologies has partnered with a globally recognised, market-leading premium consumer hardware brand. Following a major strategic decision to bring all hardware-linked software development in-house, they are opening a brand-new engineering R&D centre in Basingstoke.
We are searching for their first dedicated Firmware Engineer to take sole charge of the embedded software roadmap from a completely clean slate—meaning absolutely zero legacy code to fix or maintain.
If you are a senior embedded professional looking to escape the corporate machine, own a connected product end-to-end, and see your code ship in devices sold globally, this is your next step .
The Role
This is a high-autonomy, sole-charge technical specialist position . Reporting directly to the Innovation Director, you will be the absolute authority on firmware and connected software platforms within the building .
Key Responsibilities:
* Clean-Sheet Development: Architect and write embedded C/C++ firmware for next-generation consumer hardware devices featuring rich, graphic-heavy touchscreen interfaces .
* HMI/GUI Integration: Build out the on-device user experience layer utilising embedded Linux or Android platforms.
* Connectivity & Core Tech: Integrate and optimise wireless connectivity, low-power features, and location/tracking data capabilities (Bluetooth Low Energy, GNSS/GPS).
* Supplier & Vendor Steering: Act as the technical lead when interfacing with global partners—reviewing code from offshore app development teams and writing specs for Far East electronics manufacturers .
About You
You are a proactive, established engineer who doesn't need to be micro-managed and values an environment that prioritises technical output over corporate box-ticking .
What we are looking for:
* Proven Embedded Track Record: Solid experience in embedded firmware development (C/C++) on real physical products that have successfully shipped to market.
* OS & UI Depth: Practical exposure to building touchscreen HMIs running on embedded Linux, Android/AOSP, or RTOS environments.
* Connectivity Depth: Hands-on experience integrating BLE, wireless protocols, or location-based/navigation features.
* Supplier Facing Capability: Comfortable technical communication skills to hold external suppliers and global development teams to account.
* Logistics: You must be local enough to commute daily to the new Basingstoke office to help stand up and collaborate with the newly forming engineering team .
Why Apply?
* Total Blueprint Ownership: You get to build the in-house firmware capability from scratch with no legacy headaches .
* Fail-Fast Engineering Culture: A highly supportive, small-team environment where proactive decisions are valued and mistakes are viewed as progress .
* Global Footprint: Work for an incredibly stable, highly profitable brand whose UK-assembled products are shipped to over 50 countries
